Radiology Examination Cost Calculation
Calculate the cost per radiology examination based on fixed and variable costs. Formula, interpretation, and scientific basis.
Cost per examination
98,75₺
Since fixed costs are weighted, the unit cost significantly decreases as the examination volume increases (economies of scale).

Scientific and theoretical basis
Radiology examination cost is the average unit cost of an imaging examination (X-ray, CT, MRI).
Formula and Logic
Cost Per Examination = (Fixed Cost + Variable Cost) / Number of Examinations
A large portion of costs in radiology is fixed (equipment depreciation, personnel). Therefore, the unit cost is strongly related to volume.
How is it interpreted?
As the examination volume increases, the fixed cost is spread over more examinations, and the unit cost decreases (economies of scale). Unit costs can be high for low-volume expensive devices.
Things to consider
PACS and digital workflows can reduce film/archive costs. Separate calculations based on modality (MRI, CT) yield more accurate results.
Sık Sorulan Sorular
How is the radiology examination cost calculated?
The sum of fixed and variable costs is divided by the number of examinations during the period.
